Summary

An ITV drama throws the Post Office scandal back into the public eye. Why was it ignored – and what other scandals should we be discussing more? Plus, hands up if you had net zero goals as Sunak’s first blow of 2024. Chris Skidmore’s resignation over the Offshore Petroleum Bill has put the Tories in a spin. And in the Extra Bit for subscribers the most depressing day of the year (apparently) is on the horizon, what do our panel do to cheer themselves up in January? • “We really mustn't obscure the fact that Fujitsu and the Post Office went to great lengths to obscure the issues.” – Alex Andreou • “Sunak falls from policy position to policy position as he relaunches his leadership campaign every two weeks.” – Alex Andreou • “Even if the green policies are in place to make something happen in the UK, the general culture, mood, is we’re not interested.” – Hannah Fearn Listen to Alex Andreou’s Bunker episode on the Post Office scandal: https://listen.podmasters.uk/BUNKER240110QuirkPostOffice We’re on YouTube!: https://www.youtube.com/@ohgodwhatnow www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Ros Taylor with Alex Andreou and Hannah Fearn.
